Bike Riding Can be a Pain
Bike riding is a great way to have fun and stay fit, but it can also be the source of serious knee pain. Many cyclists complain of knee pain. It's a condition known as IT band syndrome, a painful stretching of the iliotibial tissue. In bicycle riders, this thick fibrous tissue running from the hip to the knee gets stretched due to the constant up and down motion of the legs. The stretched tissue then begins to rub against the bony portions of the knees or hip, causing certain pain. While all cyclists are prone to IT band syndrome, the condition normally affects beginners. Rookie cyclists tend to ignore the proper care of their knees and feet, and will ride for hours on end. Other factors such as...

How To Take Better Black-And-White Photographs
Black-and-white photography has become increasingly popular once again. When color photography first burst upon the scene, black-and-white photography fell out of favor.

Recumbent Exercise Bike Reviews
Consumer ratings and reviews of recumbent exercise bikes seem to vary wildly. But how can one person's view be the total opposite of another's?

With this in mind I have selected what I believe to be some of the best models in the low-, mid- to high-price category. A review of the best cheap recumbent exercise bikes I've selected two models; the Stamina Resistance Magnetic bike and the Weslo 4.5R. They retail for around $250 and $200 resp.

Health: Cross Training for Fitness and Fatloss
